Description
Summary:Ubiquitin–proteasome and lysosome–autophagy are the two main cellular degradation systems controlling cellular homeostasis in eukaryotes. The autophagy pathway started attracting particular attention only two decades ago, after the ATG genes were discovered in yeast, and their counterparts in higher eukaryotes. Since then, a tremendous amount of autophagy-related knowledge was gained leading to deciphering its molecular mechanisms and their regulations. Notably, the significance of autophagy in the pathophysiology of human disease and aging [...]
